PRR 6027, EF-25A, 1965 |
| Description: |
Spruce Creek. Here is the seventh of eight successive photos that I took in Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania, on 10 July 1965. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6027, #2412, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. #6027 is an EF-25A built by GM-EMD in April of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #2412 is an AF-24 built by the American Locomotive Company in October of 1962 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. In this context, they're pulling a mixed-cargo freight train out of Enola to Altoona and points West. A small portion of State Route 45 is visible at the upper right. |
